This thing reminds us of an octopus or a squid because of it’s tentacled form and squishy-ness.  Give the bulb on top a good squeeze and the Octo Yo-Yo lights up, squeeze it again and it turns off:

Just twist the tip and it gives a kaleidoscope-type effect to the whole room!

This is a high powered green laser pointer with a lightshow tip that makes the laser beam fan out, and the coolest part is you can MOVE it:

Wave this thing around outside or in a club and it’s sure to give an awesome light show….make your OWN personal club right around you!  This thing is seriously hella cool. Checkout the Green Laser Lightshow at HouseOfRave!

These are SUPER BRIGHT (just watch the video to see)! Very attention grabbing:

Each comes pre-attached with a necklace lanyard, and you control the on/off by press the top. The inside heart has a “tunnel” effect that looks like it goes back towards infinity.

Every year we see odd products that previously didn’t really sell, then all of a sudden see huge spikes in demand. Often it’s products that are unexpected hits, the manufacturer runs out of stock, so it goes out of stock at most stores, so people flock to whatever store they can get it at.

By far, the most demanded item we saw on HoR this year was this Lava Plasma Lamp:

It’s basically a Lava Lamp that has one of those electricity-looking plasma balls inside. It’s a new product and actually looks like a slick little room decoration…which makes it prime gift-giving material.

Unfortunately the Lava company didn’t anticipate such a high demand for it (likely because this tight economy doesn’t permit companies to easily extend huge lines of credit for large manufacturing runs). Or maybe there was a fire at the warehouse and they all got burned up. Who the hell knows. The end result was EVERY store was sold out except us….for a while.

Eventually our stock ran out and we had to pull it too.

Another funny runaway product line this year was BACON stuff. Yes, bacon! These are some of the items that recently came out and started selling REALLY well this holiday season:

Bacon Bandages:
There’s a whole lineup of these novelty bandages, and by far the bacon strips sell the best.

Bacon Gumballs:
Why bacon flavored gumballs sell is unknown….we guess people just LOVE bacon.

Bacon Toothpicks:
Not even kidding…

Who would’ve thought the American public has such a fascination with BACON products? Like the popular Lava Plasma Lamp a lot of these bacon-related products sold out quickly too.

Another weird item that really took off this season was the Gravy Fountain Gag Gift Box:

It’s a fake gift box you put a real gift inside to fool your unsuspecting subject.  We presume this gag box is great for White Elephant gift exchanges, hence the popularity. What’s weird is there are other gift boxes like this, but by an exceedingly large margin the gravy fountain box was the most popular. Baffling and kind of hilarious the items that strike a nerve with the general public!

Every time you touch the globe with your hand it will attract plasma beams to your hand, everyone will want to touch it!!
